How do you combat bit-rot/silent corruption?

I use it on my own server, a dedicated quad-core machine with 64 GB RAM (hetzner.de). Mainly because I host a multitude of different websites that require different technologies: PHP, Rails, Node, Go and Python. Setting everything up with

I take a major issue in their usage of OpenWRT. It seems to me that every hardware I touch with OpenWRT included is out of date - or "well aged". As soon as you try to modify something in the OpenWrt interface and/or update t

We run the Atlassian products Jira, Confluence and Crucible and soon Bitbucket on premise. Gitlab is not an option because our main repository is a relatively big Mercurial repository. There's also a couple of Jenkins servers. Most of

Could be interesting for continuous integration and testing new Cray setups. I usually have to spend a week or so to adapt our builds once we get a system upgrade. It's mostly to hack around weird Cray setups and because we dare to lin

Actually I am in this position. I rather visit the people and enjoy a weekend with them than put on a VR headset. Also it's a great excuse to go away for a weekend. And if it has to be something interactive I found video conferences qu

I can definitely see some usecases of these experiences. Not wanting to sound too negative, I would prefer to meet the people in person and drink a beer, eat a meal than to lounge around in some virtual room. I see the allure of it if you a

I'm wondering how they will stack up against XeonPhi.

by __mp 10y ago
I think this would be too expensive for us. Why do they take so long? What area are you working in? Would it make sense to scale down the tests to a sensible size and do the longer tests over the weekends?

I think this really depends on the code base. If I had a website where a change would trigger more than 5 minutes of integrating and testing I would go mad. I'm working with a weather model and it takes around 1 hour to build and test

Oh that's pretty neat. A colleague of mine is working on a similar project applying directives to allow loop reorderings for OpenACC and OpenMP code (CLAW project). He's using the Omni-Compiler tough.

Cool, then you are probably the a person who is able to answer this question: What is a good way to mix C++ and Fortran build environments? Is there a way to mix the PrgEnv-{Cray/PGI} so that I can compile C++/CUDA code with GCC

You're welcome. This is what they presented last year: ftp://ftp-anon.dwd.de/pub/DWD/Forschung_und_Entwicklung/CUS2016_presentations_PDF/06_Dynamics_and_Numerics/01_Invited_Z%E4ngl/ICON_CUS_

Yes, exactly: Piz Kesch and Escha. The code is currently also run on Piz Daint on Pascal. Piz Kesch/Escha is pretty special because the system has 16 GPUs per node which makes the MPI configuration pretty hairy compared to one GPU syst

A reason for the slow adoption of accelerators is that these code bases are pretty old and mostly Fortran based. I don't think we are going to see a shift to accelerator-based weather models any time soon. The code bases are pretty ol

Cool, I think rust needs some time to mature. I'm currently looking for a rust guide that shows me some programming patterns. For example: - How to best implement an observer pattern - Best practices for vector code - Best practices fo

I think the most powerful feature of C++ is templating. Templating makes it very easy to write high-performance math code (no dynamic function calls, everything unrolled by the compiler...). Just have a look at the state of the art math lib

I've been recently driving in Australia and the behavior is spot on. Cars were overtaking on the left (inner sode of the road) as well.

I have the same problem. I don't even see an option to change a spec all I get is the 256GB/8GB/i5 base model in all the configurations. It's also not possible to change the keyboard layout for my region (CH/DE).

MeteoSwiss uses a 12 node cluster with 16 GPUs each to compute its weather forecasts (Piz Escha/Kesch). The machine is in operation since more than a year. We were able to disable the old machine (Piz Albis/Lema) last week. The 1.
